Well, Naruto has a big heart. He would manage his business in a way that benefits the community. He'd offer fair prices, maybe even provide free services to those in need.

He'd learn about business management as he goes, making mistakes but always striving to improve.
Shikamaru might be a good choice too. He's lazy but very intelligent. He could plan out the best trade routes and strategies for Naruto's business. His ability to analyze situations would be very useful in the merchant world.
Hermione would be an obvious choice. With her intelligence and vast knowledge of magic, she could handle the more academic and research - related aspects of the business.
